What does that do?...
That has to do with your crossover being a "First Order" crossover. This means its a 6dB per octave filter. At the frequency selected for the crossover enough resistance has been added to equal the resistance of the loudspeaker and reduce the power by 3 dB or 50%. One octave below the crossover frequency, power has been reduced by 6 dB or 75%. Each octave lower reduces the power by an additional 6 dB. This was put on there to compensate for that.

You have the deluxe crossovers which are pre-built with internal capacitor's.

nothing like throwing in some inline capacitor's and calling it a crossover

...So I guess in my case, the amps get wired before the crossovers...correct?...
If you are running passive crossovers this allows you to run all sizes of speakers(and different ohm rating if you were so inclined)on parrallel channels of the amp while keeping a safe impedence load on the amp through the entire frequency range.

You are correct, passive crossovers are put in line between the amp and the speaker.

There is a couple other configurations you could do with the gear it sounds like you have. But most likely the easiest and definitly adequate is the method described in the other posts on this thread.

good luck...........
